Goal Based Dimensions

By default, Discover publishes event data as soon as the Canister detects and processes it. Unica Discover Usability events, however, are configured to publish their event data at the end of the session. The event values that were detected at the time the event fired are recorded, but the recording does not occur until the session is completed by the user, or session timeout. This method for event publishing enables the support of the capturing of the dimension values associated with the event from their last occurrence in the session.

For example, suppose you use a dimension to capture whether a purchase was made. Since that information is not known until the end of the session, you can delay the publishing of Unica Discover Usability events and their related dimensions until the end of the session so the definitive answer (Yes or No) is captured in the dimension value.

Note: All Unica Discover Usability events are configured to have their data published at the end of the session. This setting cannot be modified for these events.

See "Goal Based Dimensions" in the Unica Discover Event Manager Manual.
